It's very good news, thanks for sharing Del.
Unfortunately, I can't deny that after 12 years, the freedom doesn't sound like a real "victory".
The thing that really gets to me is that in the times with Julian and Edward Snowden, there wasn't a plan for something that would be more robust and resilient. There were rumors that a sort of "dead man's switch" could be employed in which when the owner of a platform like wikilieaks were to die or be captured, the program could be released for someone else to take over. The most resilient platform is one which doesn't really care if its master changes, it just keeps operating. The motivation to eliminate the master subsides, and thus offers them more protection.
When Julian was arrested, that was it for wikileaks really. Just dead in the water. Can we not implement something more dynamic, better? Blockchain based?

McAfee! Thanks for reminding me.
I'm zero skill in cryptography but still it just seems to me there is a more effective method then all the silliness I've followed so far. Snowden exposed a bunch of stuff, but why did he just stop there? It seems he went on talk shows and that was it, good enough.
The right kind of virtual environment could give very ordinary people a recipe to 3dprint their own parts for a computer free of backdoor spy equipment software, and then just install an operating system that comes with some sort of blockchain ledger. The function of the operating system would be quite simple: Find a way to route data to other machines regardless of how. (what ellegedly DARPAnet was supposed to do but is less and less)
The function of the ledger would be primarily quite simple: put all information on a blockchain that can't be removed. Everything, even very incriminating inappropriate things are there, but in weighing out the pros and cons of privacy vs exposure - in our prison we're better off with exposure.
And finally: should anything happen to whomever originated the program, doesn't matter. The ledger just spits out the information to create another node in the network any time by anyone. No central control. It all just happens. How is that not possible?
